The work done at the Vaseux and k’əmcənitkw wetlands speaks to a vision shared by late Okanagan Indian Band Chief Albert Saddleman in the 1990s — “to put back the river, bring back the fish, and put back the people.”
“There’s the potential in the future to re-route the flow of water, so not having a channelized system anymore,” said Moran.
“Potentially — eventually — having the river once again meandering through a functioning wetland.”
